As reported here in more than a few posts, some dealers don't adjust the handle bars properly. They need to be adjusted down to where the bars and cables JUST clear the open storage box doors. Then also, the reservoirs need to be rotated forward a bit as well. I did this and can see the mirrors about the same or better than I could on my ST1100. I have a good view to the rear to see what I need to now. I know some members here could not see the mirrors well enough for them even with adjustments to the bars and reservoirs. Seems that if you are a taller dude the adjustments won't do it. I don't know since it works for me. I do agree that Honda could have done a lot better with the placement of the mirrors but it is what it is. Works for some, not good enough for others. :350x700px-LL-66dd6d
